Lately baby, I've been thinking
How good it was when you were here
And it ain't the wine that I been drinking
For once I feel my head is clear

But early this morning, when I opened my eyes
That old lonesome feeling took me by surprise
I guess you meant more than I realized
The love we had stays on my mind
The love we had stays on my mind

And boy, I've been remembering
The good times that we used to share
My thoughts of you don't have an ending
And memories of you are everywhere

But why should I tell you, it's not your concern
You win some, you lose some
Well I've lost and I've learned
It's just that I'm so lonely
With no place to turn
And here at the end, I find

The love we had... stays on my mind

Boy, if you were nearer If you had a mirror
Maybe you could count my tears
And if you were nearer It would all be clearer
How I wish that you were here

How I wish that you were here
How I wish that you were here

And baby boy I was just so tired
So I laid down to dream while
Lately I've been so uninspired
Without the comfort of your smile

But I'm not complaining
Cuz that's how it goes
There's always some heartache
In this world I suppose
But you can't imagine
But nobody knows

The love we had stays on my mind
The love we had stays on my mind
